Where it started

One diagnosis sparked a league of support.

Lauren Daniels founded HEAL in 2004 — and a community has been growing ever since.

How it all started

One diagnosis became a calling.

When Lauren faced breast cancer at 35, her children ranged from 1 to 11. She and her husband Sean were deeply grateful for the help they received during that trying time.

Lauren turned adversity into purpose — and one mom's experience became a community that still walks alongside Arizona families today.

That same spirit still guides us.

What began with one family now shows up in practical help across Arizona — in ways moms can feel throughout the year.

  • Gift cards Help with groceries, bills, and everyday essentials
  • Back-to-school outreach Support when a new school year brings new costs
  • Holiday gift programs Seasonal care for moms and their children
  • HEAL Farm days Farmer's Market visits, fresh air, and community
